Setting date format on EXPORT / conversion of date to timestamp

Looking at the documentation on EXPORT, when exporting a date column
it will automatically use yyyymmdd. One could choose to use ISO
format, but unfortunately the client I'm exporting to can't deal with
this and will only accept dd/mm/yyyy.

Undaunted, I find that one can set the format when exporting a
timestamp. So I thought of casting the date to a timestamp and then
exporting with timestamp format set to dd/mm/yyyy. But one isn't able
to cast date to timestamp.

What way can I get around this? Cast the date to something else first
and then cast it to timestamp? Or should I just give up and do
something like day(datefield) || '/' || month(datefield ) || '/' ||
year(datefield) ?

I would like to use php to query a database and retrieve a unix timestamp. The problem is that mysql is storing the data in the date format and not a timestamp. I am sure that I can amend my query to format the date returned as a timestamp without having to do the conversion in php. Can someone tell me what to put in my db query?

I have a delete statement that is not doing what I want it to do: Delete from LOG_TABLE where (DATE(LOG_TS)) < (DATE(CURRENT_DATE)- 21 DAYS); It is supposed to delete all records that are 21 days or older than the current system date. Instead it is deleting all new rows. LOG_TS is a timestamp but that should not matter since DATE returns just the date portion of a date or timestamp...right? I'm not a SQL guru but I can't see...
